or 'The Mystery of Edwin Droog'.
This 1960's housing estate, Thamesmead in South East London, was one of the locations used in 'A Clockwork Orange', a film by Stanley Kubrick.

Heavenly if you like brutalist concrete structures, that is.
Yarnton Way, Southmere, Thamesmead Estate
Hinksey Path, South Thamesmead.
Part of the wider Thamesmead Estate, built 1967-74 in a Brutalist style.
This part of the estate (low rise apartment buildings) is due to be demolished and replaced with newly built homes. Several of the other apartments near here are now unoccupied and have been boarded up.
The teal-coloured panel beyond the concrete staircase is part of a hoarding that surrounds a wide expanse of land where similar buildings have already been demolished in readiness for new construction work to begin.
Thamesmead, location for the 1971 Stanley Kubrick film, based on the 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange.
An experiment in concrete, steel and brick.

A ripe Trident leaving the O2 in this once popular photo-spot.
Changed heck ton ever since a new building was raised to the right of here. Doesn't quite hit the same.
Oh and ALX400 Tridents are now just a memory in London, and 472 got extended to Abbey Wood now..
Odd interloper. the PM alloc of the N1 is pretty solid MHVs, however the odd EH does rock up from time to time.
MG has a trio of MHVs topping up the PVR for the 1, these sometimes go on the N1. MHVs are however the current PM allocation for the route.
